should an art form like music ever be bowdlerized? (22)
galrads: For or instance, this American inspiring song, though a unifying message, might be offensive to some who have a choice to listen to or not listen to it. If bowdlerized it would be rendered far less effective communicating its message.
I think Tipper Gore tried to have music censored. Thank you Frank Zappa for fighting against destroying another art form.

When Keith Richards was asked if he thought the Stones' music was art, he said, the only thing I know about art is it's short for Arthur.

bodleing2: Do you know how they go?
I spent eight years in St Andrew Catholic elementary school and four years at Bishop Watterson Catholic high school. Their behavior did not match their modest attire though because whenever I disagreed in a debate on anything with them, they usually ended up beating their hands on my chest or kicking me hard in the groin. They weren't friendly towards me on other occasions either.------ This thread is Archived ------

I thought you said catholic girls were awesome in your previous post. Which is the awesome part? 
Or did you mean you find girls dressed in modest attire are awesome? In which case how does that fit in with your obsession with Amy Whinehouse?

"All the way
That's the way they go
Every day
And none of their mamas ever seem to know
Hip-Hip-Hooray
For all the class they show
There's nothing like a Catholic Girl
At the CYO When they learn to blow."

Oh, I see now How ambiguous my 'awesome' statement might be to most people. I should have written 'awesome academically.' Girls seemed to do better academically than most guys in school, except for some areas of study.... in my classes anyways.Or did you mean you find girls dressed in modest attire are awesome?

Btw, wth does Amy Winehouse have to do with anything I've posted. Her religion was judaism, not catholicism.Or did you mean you find girls dressed in modest attire are awesome? In which case how does that fit in with your obsession with Amy Whinehouse?

Only that if you thought they were awesome because of their modest attire which you mentioned (instead of mentioning their academic cleverness as you later clarified) then it would not be coherent with your obsession with Amy Whinehouse who is anything but modestly dressed ... now you have clarified you thought they were awesomely clever my comment is no longer relevent ...------ This thread is Archived ------

No hate, no rioting, just a beautiful 4 days celebrating our Queens Platinum Jubilee whether your a Royalist or not. Something that will always be remembered. I've been lucky enough to see our Queen's Silver, Golden and now Platinum Jubilee. So proud to be British ------ This thread is Archived ------

I have belonged to at least one folk music club in a major city that had a majority of club officers and members insisting that Stephen Foster songs, particularly "Swanee River/Old Folks At Home" be altered, so as not to offend. Same thing in writers clubs, omitting some Samuel Clemens prose (Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn) because somewhere someone might be offended. Personally, I am against abridging art, whether it be a poem, a song, or a painting. Some people might be offended by some artwork in The Louvre, for example, or even in the Sistine Chapel. I would rather someone just not participate, or not go to those places, rather than take a wrecking ball to someone's art. JMOI think Tipper Gore tried to have music censored.

Bowdlerizing ... Tipper Gore was nothing compared to eighty plus years of right wing obsession with reversing free speech and imposing narrow minded controls on anything in society they decided didn't suit them.
